Introduction

In choosing the 504 Stereo FM Tuner you have acquired a component that combines major advances in audio and user interface design. The 504 Stereo FM Tuner uses dual-gate MOSFET RF amplifiers for high sensitivity, together with a Walsh function stereo decoder for low distortion and extra HF bandwidth. The eight-character display can be programmed to show station names for ease of access, and all functions can be remotely controlled from the Meridian System Remote.

This guide is designed to enable you to obtain the best possible results from the unit, whether your requirements are simply to listen to music, or to configure the unit to your preferences.

If you have just purchased the 504 Stereo FM Tuner, you should first turn to the section Setting up the FM tuner, page 17, which explains how to unpack and install the FM tuner correctly.
